SmartPoint™ Controllers — Mission-Ready Power & Propulsion Control
LaunchPoint’s SmartPoint™ family comprises advanced electric motor controllers, generator inverter-controllers, and hybrid-electric power system management units engineered for defense aviation and ground systems. Built for Group 2–5 UAS (including CCA/attritable), podded payloads, manned 4th/5th/6th-gen fighters and support aircraft, SmartPoint™ delivers precise propulsion control and reliable aircraft power generation under demanding mission profiles.
SmartPoint™ Advantages:
- Open, sensor-rich control: Connects to peripheral sensors and avionics for closed-loop torque, speed, and thermal management; supports advanced telemetry and BIT/CBIT.
- Continuous health awareness: Monitors and reports system status for HUMS/PHM, enabling condition-based maintenance and faster fault isolation.
- Real-time decisioning: Executes flight-relevant control logic for power sharing, generator/motor mode switching, and safe-state handling during transients.
- SWaP-optimized for flight: Air- or liquid-cooled, conduction-cooled options sized for “flight weight” performance and high power density.
- EMI/EMC & power quality discipline: Designed to support compliance with MIL-STD-461/DO-160 EMI, MIL-STD-704 aircraft power quality, and MIL-STD-1275 (ground) DC bus stability.
- Environmental robustness: Engineered for MIL-STD-810 shock, vibe, temperature, sand/dust, and altitude profiles.
Power Classes & Applications:
1.5–60 kW Motor Controllers
Optimized for hybrid-electric UAS (Grp 2–5), ISR/EW payloads, and collaborative combat aircraft.
125–250+ kW SmartPoint™ Inverter-controllers
Custom-tailored for power-dense starter/generators on combat/support aircraft, and high-duty airborne power generation.
Configurable for aircraft and ground power generation roles (28 VDC, 270 VDC, and program-specific buses).
